You probably\ndon\u2019t wear headdresses regularly; it probably doesn\u2019t hold too much\nsignificance. Back in ancient Egypt it was a different story.  Headdresses represented class, region, and\npower.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colour was one\nimportant characteristic of a headdress. \nA red crown was worn by pharaohs who ruled lower Egypt, Blue ruled upper\nEgypt and a red and blue crown ruled both. \nThe material and design also said a lot in the headdress world of Egypt.  Blue crowns molded of leather with gold\nsequins and a Uraeus on the center was a headdress worn by those with military\npower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Animal characteristics were commonly the\ncenter of these ancient fashion accessories. \nA Nemes Headdress had a long lion tail the hanged down the center back;\nworn by rulers from the old to the new kingdom. \nQueens and Goddesses wore falcon headdresses.  These headdresses had wings along the side of\nthe head and the birds head sitting on top of the woman\u2019s head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a little\nbit of lighter wear, headbands were worn by royalty that had a cobra coming out\nthe front.  \u201cThe lock of youth\u201d was a\nsimple headband that wrapped around the head of royal children.  The Hemhemet crown was the opposite of\nlighter wear.  It was a huge head piece worn\nfor ceremonial occasions.  This headdress\nwas only worn rarely as it was very tall and heavy, making it an awkward piece to\nwear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Egyptian\nheaddresses aren\u2019t a common piece in most wardrobes these days, there are certain\npieces of fashion that similarly represent power.  A suit and tie for example, represent a sense\nof professional hierarchy in the modern world much like the Egyptian headdress.  Headdresses may have lost their flare over\nthe years, but once upon an ancient Egypt time, they were quite the significant\nfashion statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
